Hi,

I received my Satellite WAS # 328 today from the ARRL.
I would like to thank all of the operators for the many QSOs and all of those
that responded with QSL cards. Special thanks goes out to Adrian, AA5UK/P for
his contact from Hawaii and to Bruce, KK5DO for his efforts in checking my
cards.

Ron,
Congratulations on achieving your Satellite WAS!? Well done.
Glad I could contribute Hawaii for your last state! It was fun working you
from Big Island.

Not sure everyone realizes what an accomplishment it is that Ron N8RO
received his Satellite WAS.
I am not boasting but to show what an achievement this is for Ron consider
this.
In 1982 I received my Sat WAS #63. That is 30 years ago. If my math is
correct
That works out to less than 9 people per year over the last 30 years
receiving
a Satellite WAS. Way to go Ron.

my satellite was that i received on april 22, 1994 after being a ham for
just about a year and through the joyful use of ao-10 and ao-13 as well
as fo-20 is number 202.
this means that from 1982 to 1994 (12 years) 139 were issued and from
1994 to 2012 (18 years) 126 were issued. pretty interesting statistics.
maybe heo satellites had something to do with this. it is a bit
difficult to work hawaii and alaska from the right coast.
i also have worked all continents on satellite dated june 17, 1994. it
would be impossible for anyone to achieve this award after the demise of
ao-40. thus in the last 10 years the award has been inactive.

Hi Ron!
> I received my Satellite WAS # 328 today from the ARRL.
Congratulations! You've been on many passes, and it's good to
see someone get satellite WAS with the help of Adrian AA5UK
and his most-recent Hawaii trip.
73!

The API looks pretty simple from the docs. I just took a stab at it, using
curl, this is all I had to do to authenticate and issue a query:
Authenticate (comes from their docs):
curl -v -c cookies.txt -b cookies.txt -k
https://beta.space-track.org/ajaxauth/login -d
'identity=USERNAME&password=PASSWORD'
Issue their example ISS Min/Max Historical Apogee Perigee query:
curl -v -b cookies.txt -k

Nice going Ron!? tooting my own horn I also recently received my Sat WAS #
326 as well as my WAC (thankyou AO-40 sobsob).? With now many countries and
now private companies putting stuff in orbit, the possibility of getting a
"lift" could be more feasible.? Given I am not privy to all the
juxtapositions of the details involved with such an endeavor.? I'm a simple
man and no doubt overlook the details.? All my antennas are STILL down
pending a complete rework.? Having to deal with?the hf quad, dig holes, mix
concrete, newer tower, remove old tripod, move satellite array, appease XYL
?.? The details of which would take too long to explain.?
